First and for most i would like to thank each and every person who showed up as well as thank you for your support.
My grandfather was an AMAZING man and i will never forget him.
This week i've spent alot of time recalling some of my fondest memories of him and i realized there were soo many. the ones i will cherish the most would probally be when he would wake me up and the crack of dawn and drag me out of the house so we could go fishing on false river. those days can never be replaced.
i also recall the day i said i wanted a basketball goal so i could start playing and wouldn't you guess the next week i woke up to find a basketball goal in our back yard.
I LOVE YOU POP ALWAYS WILL AND I CAN REST EASY KNOWING YOUR IN A BETTER PLACE KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR ME AND ONDA AND PARRAN PLEASE!
